A Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is defined as a system that stores energy for a distinct period of time to be retrieved later. There is a class distinction between flywheels used for smoothing the intermittent output of an engine or load on a machine and these energy storage systems.
A flywheel energy storage system works by applying a torque in the direction of rotation to speed up the rotor, and applying a torque in the reverse direction to slow it down. On one level, it is simple to implement and understand in comparison with many other energy storage methods, and can store and release energy for potentially unlimited cycles.
The energy stored in a vehicle-mounted flywheel system is typically low, being of similar magnitude to the kinetic energy of the vehicle operating at a moderate speed.
The most common configuration for flywheel energy storage is a hermetically sealed system incorporating a motor generator, as explained in Section 1 (Fig. 11.1).
Flywheels have interesting applications beyond energy storage. For instance, boat roll stabilization uses the gyroscopic effect to provide opposing torque against disturbances from waves. This application is effective, as shown in Ref. . 6. Conclusion
A flywheel stores energy by rotating a mass, or rotor, about a fixed axis. The energy stored in the flywheel rises when the angular speed of the rotor is increased and reduces when it is slowed down. The maximum energy is usually limited by the maximum angular speed, itself limited by structural considerations.
